This is called creativity ! Conventions won't let me call these 'real' photographs, but if digital alterations can be called 'art', this girl has really mastered it !

I'd suggest you bookmark her portfolio at flickr and get amazed by her work at a regular basis. I'm doing that currently. :)

There is something special about this simple photograph! May be because I am from this city and the very look of this place makes me nostalgic. But the bright yet hazy morning light makes me feel happy and say 'good morning !' :)

Only I wish that guy were not looking towards the camera. But it's really difficult to prevent that ! :D

From the photographer: "This is one of my most extensively post processed shots. It's a composite of 4 pictures to get the vivid dynamic range in the shot. Taken at f/22 with shutter speeds varying from 1" to 4" and a graduated ND filter to get is as right as possible in a single shot."

The extent of post-processing is very apparent no doubt and HDR (High Dynamic Range) photos are generally a bit unnatural. But it looks good and very attractive! Only I feel the horizon could have been pushed a little up .... a personal choice. :)

This guy always fascinates me with his extremely moody shots. It shows some signature of too much unsharp mask being applied, but the images tells a story. An intriguing story.

A bit too saturated for my taste, looks unnatural ... but it feels nice to look at the photo.

It's always difficult to chose the right track. ;)

As the photographer puts very aptly, we can tag this photograph as 'aquascape'. Color in water ... watercolor .... a very much painting-like photograph. I can feel the colors flowing very spontaneously. :)
